Nation suffering dearth of statesmen

Now, this is where the stuff hit the fan. In 2011 Mr. Obama didn’t know if he would be re-elected; in fact it was doubtful, so he helped get this bill passed with very little fanfare because it would be real trouble for the Republicans in 2013 if he was not re-elected.

It was a miscalculation by the Obama White House and now they have a horde of aides on talk shows, and even Mr. Obama himself is out on the campaign trail, trying to sell the idea that “sequester” was a Republican ploy to kill our national defense and lay off all the meat inspectors so we would have to eat horse meat from Russia!

I hope all this rambling did not put you to sleep, but I want some statesmen back in Washington, not community organizers. This is too great a country to let these elitists, statists, Progressives and Communists take it to ruins.

I’m about sick and tired of all these nickel-and-dime politicians we have entrusted to govern this great nation of ours. I have seen presidents and administrations since Eisenhower and I have never seen one this bad. These Chicago elitists have come to Washington and brought every progressive they know with them.

Mr. Obama said in his campaign stump speeches, “We are going change this nation.” I never heard him say change it to what. He never had a real job where you had to get your hands dirty once in awhile like most folk do. No, he ran his mouth at church hall community meetings and smoke-filled union hall meetings trying to raise money and get support to change the system.

The system he wants to change is the capitalist system. You know, the old worn-out system where I do an honest day’s work for honest day’s pay. His father hated the capitalist system and also the colonial system. I believe with all my heart that Mr. Obama hates America because he thinks of us a colonial nation and guilty of enslaving his people years ago. In his books he almost admits this. If you did not read his books, you should.

Mr. Obama lives in a fantasy world where the “have-nots” are people whom the elitists think should be looked after from the cradle to the grave. Somewhere in that spread of years they can vote Democratic (Progressive) and keep them in office providing Santa Claus 24/7 year after year.

They keep a steady roll of crises coming down the pike —- Rahm Emanuel was the father of “don’t let a good crisis go to waste.” Well, don’t you think it is about time to start governing? Mr. Obama is always in a campaign mode and never a governing mode. Why? He does not have a clue about governing. He needs to go back doing what he does best —- community organizer! He can’t go back and practice law; he has no license.

Mr. Obama is a lame-duck president and yet he still has a campaign committee going. Sure, they changed the name, but they are soliciting money big time for something. How about a monthly visit to the White House with Mr. Obama at $500,000!

Now we have “sequester” to deal with. Most under-informed citizens do not know what the word “sequester” means, much less who got it enacted into law in 2011. It simply means all departments of the U.S. government will have to cut back on spending on March 1. Why? Mr. Obama and his aides wrote a bill requiring this to happen back 2011 and took it to Sen. Harry Reid and told him to get it passed, which he did. Then it went to the House and the Republicans passed it because that is what they wanted all along.

Now, this is where the stuff hit the fan. In 2011 Mr. Obama didn’t know if he would be re-elected; in fact it was doubtful, so he helped get this bill passed with very little fanfare because it would be real trouble for the Republicans in 2013 if he was not re-elected.
